hmm..so i found a 89 camry with a manual trans But the guy at the boneyard says that it would only fit a 88-89 celica..and that the engine has to be a 3sfe too..Anyone know for sure ???
If its a 3SFE motor thats in the car, then you can bolt it to an 86-89 Celica with a 3SGTE (FWD swap) or a 3SFE. Same tranny, although I think the gearing in the camry trannys are different.
Hmm..ok and yea the gearing is one of the reasons i want the 3s tranny..Well, one of two anyways Thanks for the input maf..I'll keep looking and if worst come to worst i'll pick up the 89 cam.
i have a 91 camry manual transmission in my car, no diffrences except placement of starter, you need the camry flywheel and starter aswell. i used the camry engine mouts one needed modifying but i think if you used the celica one it is direct bolt in. camry tranny has a built in oil pump. speedo will be 10 kms out if your running on stock 14's, uhh cant think of anything else btw i have an 89 gt-s
So..im pretty much given up hope on finding a decently priced 3sfe tranny so im just gonna replace and rebuild the parts that i can of my ge tranny and hopefully it will hold u pin the long run. I want to replace the clutch, throw bearing, slave cylinder and clutch fork.. I see the fork and i know where slave cylinder is but where is the throw out bearing..Is it that thing right in front of the fork ?
The throw out (or release) bearing is on the business end of the fork - it pushes against the clutch when you press the pedal. So you wont see it until you take the tranny off to replace the clutch. And as far as i know the only place to get cheap trannys is at a pull it yourself yard. A place near here sells 5spds for about $100 -150 I think. You should have something similar down there I would assume.
lol..i wish, We have literally no 3sfe camrys in the bone yards..they either never go bad or the very few that are here have like 250-300 k on them..and im not gonna pay 300-350 for a high milage tranny when my celi only has 116 on her..Thanks for the info though
